Things I Love this Spring

I have a penchant for collecting prints. I'm always finding cute sketches, drawing or watercolors when I travel or peruse around the local flea markets/craft shows and I can never help but to pick up a couple here and there. Needless to say this has led to a somewhat random collection of prints, that for the most part are stuffed into drawers, unframed, as I live in a rental apartment with little wall space in my room. One day, I plan on creating a gallery wall with all of my collections, but until then I'll just rotate them in and out as the mood strikes.

My latest obsession was found while scouring through Design Sponge last week where I saw these fun bookshelf prints. As collecting miscellaneous books probably surpasses my collection of prints, combining the two seems like the natural second step, right? Available on Etsy, these Jane Mount prints come detailing a wide variety of books. I think the children's collection would be perfect for a kids room or nursery. Also available on her Web site are a few more designs, including a bookshelf print nearly identical to my own book collection currently propped against the wall.
Kids Collection - Pat the Bunny, how cute!
Jodi Picoult books, a girl after my own heart.



Aside from my obsession with books and prints, I've also fallen in love with the ranunculus flowers that are currently in bloom. So soft and lovely, they remind me of peonies. I'm hoping they have some a the market this weekend.

Dream Office Inspiration

Saw this office featured in Elements of Style today and absolutely fell in love. This is exactly what I picture my future home office as. Books, miscellaneous prints (esp love the "Live What You Love" poster), a Mac, fun lighting and all.
